At the Demon Suppression Division, someone had told Captain Chen about the Black Lotus Cult.

Captain Chen's expression had changed drastically at the time.

For a figure of Captain Chen's rank to show such a drastic change in expression—

It was clear that the Black Lotus Cult was no trivial matter!

And recently, he had heard that the Black Lotus Cult was causing trouble North of the City.

This made Lin Feng exceedingly vigilant!

At this moment, Lü Anyang's expression also grew solemn.

He said in a low voice, "The Black Lotus Cult is an evil cult active in Nanyang Commandery!"

"This cult's method is to carve Black Lotus Patterns onto people, then sacrifice them!"

"Brother Lin, having come all the way from the Demon Suppression Division, you should have seen quite a few corpses along the road, right?"

Lin Feng nodded.

Countless images of corpses flashed through his mind, each with a Black Lotus Pattern carved into its back.

"The Black Lotus Cult is very powerful?" Lin Feng asked.

Lü Anyang nodded gravely. "The Great Qin Dynasty has always exterminated evil cults completely, leaving no one alive."

"Yet the Black Lotus Cult has been active in Nanyang Commandery for many years without being wiped out. That alone speaks volumes of its strength!"

To have remained active in Nanyang Commandery for so long meant that the Demon Suppression Division in the County City could not possibly be unaware of them.

One had to know that the Demon Suppression Division in the County City was an absolute behemoth.

Its experts were as numerous as the clouds!

Even so, the Black Lotus Cult had continued to operate. Clearly, this evil cult was likewise filled with experts.

There was an extremely high chance that it had Xiantian Experts!

Lü Anyang said, "Brother Lin, there's no need to be overly afraid. If the Black Lotus Cult has appeared, the Demon Suppression Division will naturally bear the burden."

"That Colonel of the Demon Suppression Division is a Xiantian Master. He will not stand idly by."

"However, King Yama may be easy to deal with, but the little ghosts are hard to handle! The Black Lotus Cult's experts will not reveal themselves easily, but those ordinary cultists have caused trouble in Wancheng City time and again."

Lin Feng's heart tightened.

This world was incomparably vast. Beyond the terrifying demons and devils—

There were also evil cults bringing chaos upon the human world.

At times, these evil cults were even harder to deal with than demons and devils!

Demons and devils were not skilled at concealing themselves.

But the core of an evil cult was made up of people!

Just imagine it: a person might be utterly ordinary in daily life, looking no different from any common civilian.

Yet at a particular moment, he could transform into an evil cultist and wreak havoc. How many people could possibly guard against that?

Lü Anyang said, "Since you've returned, little brother, there's no need for me to linger here any longer."

"After becoming a Squad Leader, you can bring your family to live in the Demon Suppression Division. With the Demon Suppression Division's protection, there naturally won't be any problem with your younger sister."

Lin Feng nodded.

Next—

Lü Anyang took his leave from Lin Feng.

After Lü Anyang left, Lin Feng looked around this crude little home before finally turning to Lin Qingxue.

"Qingxue, pack up. Come with me to the Demon Suppression Division."

Lin Qingxue nodded like a pecking chick. She felt no attachment to this home.

To her, wherever Lin Feng was, that was home.

The two quickly packed up, took a few bundles, and left the house.

There was a large open area outside the house, where quite a few people stood at a distance watching.

After Lin Feng came out, he led Lin Qingxue toward the Demon Suppression Division.

Lin Feng and Lin Qingxue arrived at the gates of the Demon Suppression Division.

The guards of the Demon Suppression Division recognized Lin Feng as well.

"This is my biological younger sister. I'm bringing her to live at the Demon Suppression Division," Lin Feng said to the guards.

Bringing family members to live there required registration.

The gate guard's expression was somewhat complicated.

He remembered that not long ago, Lin Feng had merely been an ordinary person who entered the Demon Suppression Division with a letter of recommendation in hand.

Who could have imagined that after only a few days, he had already become a Ten-Man Leader and gained special privileges?

The gate guards' expressions turned respectful. After registering Lin Qingxue, they let her through.

It could be said that after the Demon Suppression Division's assessment—

Lin Feng had become an extremely high-profile figure.

From top to bottom, everyone in the Demon Suppression Division knew Lin Feng's name.

After entering the Demon Suppression Division, Lin Feng went to his new residence.

When he had been an ordinary constable before, the place he lived in had been utterly dilapidated. The room could only fit a single bed, like a coffin apartment.

After becoming a Ten-Man Leader, his residence had become vastly more spacious, with a small courtyard and two rooms.

One of them was just right for Lin Qingxue to stay in.

Lin Feng led Lin Qingxue along, but as soon as they reached his door, he stopped.

A great many Demon Suppression Guards were standing before his room!

At a glance, there were far more than thirty of them—it could only be described as a bustling crowd at his doorstep!

"Lord Lin Feng!"

"Lord Lin Feng, you're back?"

Quite a few Demon Suppression Guards grew respectful upon seeing Lin Feng.

They ignored Lin Qingxue beside him, their eyes burning as they stared solely at Lin Feng.

After becoming a Ten-Man Leader, one could recruit ten subordinates.

And a Demon Suppression Guard as promising as Lin Feng naturally had many people wishing to serve under him.

That was why so many Demon Suppression Guards had come!

Nor had these Demon Suppression Guards come empty-handed. Every one of them carried a brocade box.

If one had to name the hard currency of the Demon Suppression Division, it was none other than Body Tempering Pills!

These were treasures capable of raising one's realm. No one would ever complain about having too many.

"Lord Lin Feng, these are two Body Tempering Pills. Please accept them. I wish to brave boiling water and tread on fire for you, my lord!"

A Demon Suppression Guard respectfully presented a brocade box with both hands.

The others all showed a trace of irritation in their eyes when they saw this.

You moved so fast—you went ahead and offered yours first?!

Immediately afterward, the others hurried to present the brocade boxes in their hands to Lin Feng as well.

They all began talking over one another.

All they spoke of was how many Body Tempering Pills they had offered—

And how they wished to become Lin Feng's subordinates and work for him.

Seeing this, Lin Feng felt rather helpless.

After becoming a Ten-Man Leader, there was even more trouble than when he had been an ordinary constable.

But...

With so many Body Tempering Pills being delivered to his door, it would be a waste not to take them!

Lin Feng did not refuse, accepting the Body Tempering Pills these people had brought one by one.

Seeing Lin Feng accept them, quite a few people from the Demon Suppression Division were overjoyed. They rubbed their hands together and looked at him eagerly.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over every one of them as he said solemnly, "I appreciate everyone's goodwill."

"However, I've only just become a Ten-Man Leader. It's still too early for me to recruit subordinates."

"I've remembered all your faces. Three days from now, I will make my selections carefully."

At his words, quite a few Demon Suppression Guards nodded repeatedly.

Not one of them showed any dissatisfaction just because Lin Feng had postponed things.

They had come to give gifts today, and even if they ultimately failed to become Lin Feng's subordinates—

At least they had shown their faces, hadn't they?

At the very least, they had forged a thread of connection with the Demon Suppression Division's youngest Ten-Man Leader!

Many Demon Suppression Guards remained ordinary constables their entire lives. Being able to become a Squad Leader was already considered quite good.

Within the Demon Suppression Division, they were mere little shrimps, people without any backing.

To be able to speak with a big shot like Lin Feng and leave an impression in his eyes was already more than enough for many of them.

If anything happened in the future, perhaps he might even lend them a hand.

After the group had finished giving their gifts, they went on to offer congratulations on Lin Feng becoming a Ten-Man Leader and the like.
